Comment #2 on issue 658 by paleozogt: use cmake for builds
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=658

With CMake you can generically build across platforms with a single command: "cmake --build .", which will invoke make/msbuild/nmake/etc as appropriate. Surely this is useful even if the users aren't using CMake themselves.

CMake is directly analogous to autoconf, except that its more cross-platform.

"just a few clicks" to get it to work on Windows is a big problem for automated builds. ie, if the user is pulling in gtest as a submodule, or automatically downloading/unzipping/building as part of their build. We've had to internally fork protobuf so that it has the upgraded msvc proj files.
